Auto Headlight Sensitivity adjustment from BC Button KOMBI LICHT_AUT_WERT_1, LICHT_AUT_WERT_2, LICHT_AUT_WERT_3 X X X X X 2011-01-08 {unknown} Set all 3 to aktiv, change the sensitivity of your automatic light sensor in your Dash! Only works if you do NOT have iDrive. If you have CCC iDrive, see the option higher up in the spreadsheet. If you have CIC iDrive, there is not yet a known way to do this.

Wow really?
I'll need to check into it as well.
I meant it isnt in the CIC module for CIC nav but you turning it on via the kombi I haven't heard of.
At least over here in the States, we don't have the BC menu in the cluster if we have iDrive.

In fact it is available in CIC. At least in my case it is after making the above changes. I have CIC idrive.

Just that the option won't appear within the CIC idrive menu, but rather via the BC stalk button on my dashboard.

dumb question: in the last settings picture, is 1 bar the lowest sensitivity setting? Meaning if I have 1 bar set, will only my low beams turn on during the day only when it detects very little light? I hate how it turns on when there's light out.

I think you have the opposite. 1 bar = low beams off during day with most light, so it's not as sensitive. 3 bar = very sensitive

I also hate it when it's bright outside and the headlights turn on...but I read that the sensor also detects the amount of infrared given off by the sun...which kind of explains why it turns on more often in cooler seasons

I tried this on my retrofitted CIC (Pre-LCI E92) but it didn't seem to work :-(

How do I access the BC menu? I did the coding, and then started engine and pressed BC button, cycling through the various MPG/AVG Speed screens, but didn't find a screen similar to the images posted by WingZeroX5 (post #10 above)?

Of course, it's not "pressing the BC button". The mpg, speed and others are not "menus", but readings.
To access the menu you have to scroll up and down. It's under the settings (a thermometer is the icon for the menu) and can only be accessed with the car stopped.
